Yes I have had a partial molar pregnancy. My body produced a baby. We saw the baby and heartbeat at 7w and went back at 12w only to find out I had miscarried right after my 7w appointment. Never a sign only way we found out it was molar was because my dr did blood work on me and hcg count never lowered and he sent tissue samples to mayo. I had 2 d&c plus chemo injections to rid my body of the molar preg. Very stressful time of my life that last almost a year of tests and not getting pregnant again during that year

There are two kinds of molar pregnancies: a complete molar pregnancy & a partial molar pregnancy. A complete molar pregnancy is when an egg with no genetic content is fertilized by a sperm, the sperm keeps growing into a mass that mimics a pregnancy. A partial molar pregnancy is when an egg is fertilized by two sperm and creates a mass on the placenta. Both are routinely diagnosable by 10weeks or earlier but are sometimes missed without early ultrasounds etc. It is important to have a d&c with a molar pregnancy so the ob can get all the potentially cancerous tissue out. Yep, at times the tissue is cancerous and women go on to need a formOf chemotherapy (mote often women with complete molar pregmsncies)I always say my partial molar pregnancy was a complicated miscarriage as it can be hard to explain how sad loss is and then to find out you have a potentially cancerous mole and may need treatment is beyond overwhelming. I was "lucky" in that after mine was discovered at 14w I recovered quickly without chemotherapy. After a molar pregnancy there is a recommended wait time depending upon your recovery path. I had a three month wait period after reaching negative HCG (which is monitored weekly until you get to lower than five HCG). I am pregnant again, hoping for another healthy pregnancy (I have a son). I know quite a bit about molars including great resources and support for women who experience them. I hope noone on this board has one though.
